Ibergusto

Ibergusto is one of those rare places in Amsterdam that instantly transports you somewhere else. Step inside and you’ll feel less like you’re in the Netherlands and more like you’ve wandered into a narrow side street in Spain, surrounded by locals who know exactly what good food should taste like.

This unique delicatessen is entirely dedicated to Spain’s most celebrated product: Iberico ham, also known as Pata Negra. Ibergusto imports whole hams, chorizo sausages, and other delicacies directly from Spain, all made from the world-famous Iberico pig. What makes the experience special is that the ham is sliced fresh from the leg, right in front of you, the traditional way. You can order it to take away, enjoy it “as is,” or have it served on a freshly made sandwich.

The space is cleverly divided into two parts. At the front, you’ll find the shop area where you can taste and buy hams and other Spanish products while watching the slicing process up close. Towards the back, there’s a cozy seating area where Ibergusto transforms into a relaxed eatery. Here, you can order sandwiches, tapas, and a selection of excellent Spanish cheeses, perfect for vegetarians as well.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam and looking for an authentic, local food experience that goes beyond the usual tourist spots, Ibergusto is a must-visit. It’s a shop, a café, and a slice of Spain, all in one unforgettable stop.
